Will Cherry, 6-1, 177, G, Jr., Montana -- He is a great team and on-ball defender. Does a nice job guarding a shooter running off screens and containing a slasher. Is quick, athletic and anticipates well.

Shabazz Napier, 6-1, 170, PG, Soph., UConn -- He never really guarded in high school, but now he's quickly become a lock-down guy. He pressures the ball, has the toughness and also the quickness to stay in front of opposing guards.

Best interior defenders

John Henson, 6-11, 220, PF/C, Jr., North Carolina -- Ultra-long and athletic, Henson is a big-time shot-blocker and also alters many of those he doesn't get his hands on.
